I've learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life

My Mom

My Mom just said something to me that was so profound and encouraged me so much.

God offers grace 100% to 100% of the people who ask for it. God doesn't have to line people up according to how bad their circumstances are to offer Himself to them, He will give grace and comfort to those who ask.

That was so freeing to me.

I've felt so bad about being angry. The things that have gone on in my life have not been fun. But my husband is still gainfully employed, I am not sick anymore, I have incredibly supportive family and friends so my life is good. But I'm still upset and I feel so guilty for desperately desiring God's intervention and presence in my life at this point in time because there are others who are worse off than I am.

How backwards.

Doesn't God want us to seek Him with all our hearts, no matter what our circumstances? I've been neglecting to seek out my Savior even though that's what both of us want and exactly what I need.

About Me

I'm a daydreamer. I hate to disappoint, but I'm learning that my growth is a process that God began and certainly will finish. (Phil. 1:6) I love people and couldn't get along without them, but I'm an introvert-I need time alone to stay strong. I work things out by writing... so I'm hoping this blog thing helps out with that.
